I've got a 2000 v6 5spd with exactly the same problem...I think. I have so many drivetrain noises it's hard to tell where they come from. Mine is most noticeable when I start off...1st and 2nd gear slow acceleration. It's sort of a grinding/growling sound. I've had it to the dealer and another mechanic at least 5 times. The answers..."It's normal", "It's just backlash, nothing to worry about". What's the danger in just leaving it alone? Am I asking for trouble? Should I get myself a cell phone so I can call a tow truck from the highway? Is it killing performance? How hard is it to do yourself and is it expensive?
